New Release -- September 1st, 2012

[MadamePondarosa]

Its nice to be able to change angle on the new freight cars, but it would be nicer (and logic) to able: rotate, sell, add to storage, move all freight wagons!!

Guess the devs just forgot, can you give a notice Rob? :)

[JW2009]

The DEV know of this issue and are working on it :)
" if you have at least 10 different freight cars dispatched the Mayor will do all the work for you."

I just bought my 10th freight car, linked it to the train, loaded and dispatched. It's gone and doing its thing without a glitch. Great! Then I went to one of my neighbors to work facilities. Nothing has changed. I still have to work the same number of facilities before the mayor takes over. Is the mayor still on the old schedule, on vacation, on strike, or what?

People are great, could use a ton more: kids playing soccer, people in bathing suits for my beach, car repair person, etc. etc. I'm sure that will keep the devs busy for some time to come.

One more gripe while I'm at it. Bought the orange and green hand and hoped that I can now place my lake on top of green grass squares. No such luck. :confused:

[Taz D]

So are you saying if we get all the cars to run the train an have to have it go around a corner to get them all connected We have to buy ONE coin Car an use in the middle of all the FC cars at the corner? Then the Train will STILL dispatch an unload when its time?

I was under the impression we could NOT mix the coin trains with the FC trains using the Freight engine....Could you please reclarify what you are saying? I am about to buy the new ones an may need one to get it on a corner.
Rob added an example in the Game Guide Chapter 30 on how to do this. And yes you have always been able to mix them up. the only thing is the coin ones are decoration only.

Hi all-- unsure if this is a new glitch, or maybe I am just special. LOL I am unable to work any neighbor's facilities since I dispatched my train yesterday. I click the link to work their farm, I get there, and all I do is stand there. No pop up ever comes allowing me to work. :(

You might be able to try to go to your farm first then go back to your FB page and click back on the link to work their farms, some people have said this works for them.

[Qivis]

A neighbor of mine sent me one of the newest boxcars, but instead of getting what he sent I have the long gondola in my gift box. I've heard of this happening to other people before - that is, the gift changing to something it's not supposed to be, but have never had this happen to me. Does anyone else have this issue?

And yeah, I sent a message to Slashkey but it may take up to 3 weeks for me to get the reply.

You do not have to have it on tracks either! It looks funny having a train on a dirt path or grass, but my train is on a path because I did not want to edit the farm to make room for tracks. For some reason I did not see any mention of the that in the official instructions.

[Farmer DeDe]

I love, love LOVE the new people. Can't wait for new ones to arrive with future updates. Thanks Devs and Raul, you guys ROCK with this die hard decorator. :)

Also, I now can work all my neighbors facilities super fast since I have 9 of the cars. YEA!

Just one tiny thing. The new peeps really show off the disproportions of some of the buildings. I mean REALLY. It kinda drives me nuts but I will live with it for I love this game too much. Just have to rearrange the smaller ones to look as if they are in the distance. Or just live with a distorted world..like in the real world. :D

[ImajeanB]

I'm really looking forward to the promised new freight cars, when are they coming though please? they're running late! :confused:
They are here!

Did you refresh their farm..works for me.

Hi yes-- It ended up fixing itself for whatever strange reason...Thanks for the advice!

[casunderman]

I love the people!!!! Thanks!

[Ilsewdm]

The Mayor decided to start doing his job, yippee! I get done with neighbors' facilities in a flash. Two clicks and it's done, what an improvement! I wish more of my neighbors posted their facilities to be worked, lol.

Maybe they will since it won't take as long to get them worked. :)

Post Release Updates - Sep 6th, 9:00PM EST

- The Mayor will now recognize the last 3 freight cars we launched to determine how many facilities to work, if you have at least 10 freight cars dispatched the mayor will do all facilities. THIS FIX WILL TAKE EFFECT AFTER 8 HOURS.

- Animals will not count anymore to determine the Usage of your item storage, meaning you can move any amount of animals to your item storage without using any slots, this also apply when unloading animals from the Cattle Freight Car to your item storage

- If you open the Train Manager and you see a message that you can't dispatch the train because you already have a train dispatched, that message will now include the farm you used to dispatch the previous train. To fix the issue and be able to dispatch a train again you need to first put a locomotive back on that farm and unload that previous dispatched train.

Yay thank-you thank-you it works - I just went to a farm with loads of Facs and they mayor did all of them.

One thing - I still get the message about not being able to dispatch a train because I already have one dispatched. I am clicking on the train that is dispatched on my farm 6 just to view its progress not clicking the dispatch button. This train has never moved from farm 6 and I have always unloaded it. I will let you know if when it comes back I am unable to send it out again.

Yes I noticed that - I dont think the people can be much smaller though - some of the buildings are tiny. I think there needs to be a review of all the scale for things but I guess it would take ages and be a a mammoth job to code so I will live with it.

[maggiel29]

There is something gone wrong with the gifting process in the last few days - since the update on Sept 1st - sorry cant say exactly when as I havent sent or accepted any gifts for a few days.
I am unable to send gifts in return - I click the button to send a gift back and get to select an item but I dont get the pop-up to send it. The screen then freezes and I have to return to my FB home page and then re-select FT.
Similar when trying to send gifts - I get no friend lists appear - the FB friend list just says loading the other do nothing. And again the screen freezes.
I have enabled Pop-ups in Google Chrome and disabled the AVG software that was causing a problem before. Done the usual housekeeping things.
Im on Google Chrome, WF8, Windows 7, a fast powerful PC with speedy internet connection on broadband.
Not sure if this is a FB though

[Gregh]

Similar thing with Chrome here. Can't Accept gifts with Chrome 21 (21.0.1180.89 m, with Flash 11.3.31.232). Can Exchange for other gifts but the Accept button doesn't work. Interestingly, the Adobe site lists Flash 11.3.31.230 as the current version for Chrome.

Fortunately Firefox is working just fine. :)

[Delbet]

My three trains on different farms are stuck. I am told I have another train despatched....no....it then says to remove the train on farm two and unload.. done this... no change. I have now lost the facility to harvest speedily with trains despatched. I am at a standstill and getting fed up with this. Its been going on for months I see. I have spent real cash to have those facilities and if |I dont get the facilities returned, can I have my real money back????

Hi, did you at some point have a train on another farm besides your current 3, and move it? if so, then you'll need to put an engine on that farm and unload there.

[jm3810@msn.com]

Thanks for all the new update! Love the mayor helping when I am working my neighbors farms! I will be more inclined to do it now that it won't take so long!

Hi, just released a new post in the Game Guide about which facilities have a 'switch view' hope it helps you all out a little :)

[krypto]

It worked for me - even if it didn't make sense. The pop-up telling me I had a train already dispatched on my farm 5 was sooo confusing - I have NEVER had a train on that farm - ever. I had JUST unloaded my train on farm 9, bought 2 new freight cars, placed them on farm 9 with the other cars, when - ooops - the message telling me I couldn't dispatch popped up. Following Raul's guidance, I moved my train and all of my cars to farm 5. When I hooked them up there - I had 3 cars that showed up as needing unloaded. I did that, moved them back to my farm 9 and they now work as they should.

The longer I am here the more I appreciate the mods and the devs, esp Raul - for working hard to keep things working as well as they do - glitches and all :D

[Dutch85]

Thank you for the new people and the trains cars! Love them all! I had my train sitting ready to unload while waiting for the new cars and people. I unloaded, bought 2 of the new cars and dispatched it again, but now when I go to check the train status, I get the popup saying I can't dispatch this train because I already have one dispatched. As far as I can tell, my train is working fine. I will have to wait till it is ready to be unloaded and see if it will let me dispatch it again.

Also, I wonder when Google Chrome will update Flash to 11.4 version. I'm not having any trouble with the 11.3 version, but I'm just curious about this.

Thanks again devs and mods for all you do for us! :D

[gffarmer]

I loooooooooooovvvvee working facs with one click!!! Thanks devs!!!!!

[JW2009]

Just a note to tell the DEV., when working facilities, if there is only one on a farm, then the Mayor doesn't work it even if you have 10 trains, otherwise it does all the work. Thank You & Happy Farming

I think I heard in an earlier post that if your farm has 4 or less facilities that the mayor wouldn't work half, this could be the same with the trains.

Does it show that it has completed it's 7 day trip when you go to the Train Status? It has to complete all 7 days worth before you can unload.

[Petuniaflower]

have People on all my farms :D Have new train cars ready for my train to come in to dispatch again Everything is comping up Petunia's in Petunia Land THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! And Raul you deserve a Break and maybe a nights sleep!!

OK , soo I waited on the new release , bought a few new boxcars .. sent the train out ,,, started working neighbors postings > I 'thought' that the mayor should be doing a higher percentage of neighbors facilities when I've been working them :o ...

So will the 'fix' be in effect by now on already deployed trains ?? or will it have to wait till my train comes back and I resend it back out :confused:

Too bad this doesn't mean what I thought it did when I first read it. I first thought it meant there was now no limit to how many animals we could have in the animal sheds, then I realized it meant the main storage area.

Also someone earlier posted a thought of taken the extra animals to slaughter to produce extra meat... My God this was a brilliant idea! I would buy the cattle car without hesitation. To the person who thought it was disgusting, it is an actual reality in farming, same as collecting the fur from rabbits. :) Then we could say like Madden "It's in the game."

happy farming

Not having problems with the forum but my farms are so incredibly slow and timing out that I'm giving up for the night and leaving some fields unplanted. Very frustrating.

I am not sure what you mean by timeouts but I have had times when things stop then the screen turns green comes back then again the screen turns green .Not sure how long this would go go, for i click on my facebook tag, leave the Farm Town one. Then I have to wait awhile for things to straighten out. And I bring up a new tag to go back to Farm Town. This is how a Greenhorn does it :rolleyes:

Not credited for LLAMA WOOL harvested for QUEST

I just opened a Quest: Produce 1 Scarecrow.... which requires 1 llama wool and 1 sheep wool... I harvested my wool barn but the quest only recognized the sheep wool. It did not give me credit for the llama wool for the quest. Since it showed that both types were sent to storage, I should have gotten credit for both. Now I will have to wait to harvest again and hope to get credit for the llama wool. I have the employee lifeline so cannot ask for gifts. I alternate harvesting most barns one day and one barn the second day so I can have one ready each morning for the quest...but had not anticipated this glitch.

I don't know if this was happening before this release, as I do not remember having a quest requiring both sheep and llama wool.

[rwi32]

Love the new People, makes the Farms come ALIVE!! Please continue to add more People that will be related to the types of Facilities etc.
Fantastic!!

[servocrow]

Okay, I was moving one of my big seacoasts (on Farm 5) because I found that if I dangled them off the edge of my property, then they are a little harder to fish. I used the wonderful-super-spectacular-awesome green hand and just placed it out of the way so I could shuffle some small seacoasts to the edges of the farm. WELL.....I just dropped it on my fields of pineapple and it DISAPPEARED! :)

When I click and drag my farm, I can see it under the fields, but I am not going to be retrieving it until the pineapple is harvested. Just wanted to let people know in case it happens to someone else.

Of course, this begs the question....What else could I hide under there? Fields of crops could be a virtual carpet that could have "dust" swept under it.

MUAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAAHAHA!!


Carry on.

[Petuniaflower]

I find the issues I have. I do what i have been doing for some time. Refreshing after I do 2 or 3 farms. Seems to mess up more when I keep going on and doing too many farms at a time.In the mornings I have a shaky mouse finger . hand anyway,until I get down some coffee. It is taking more cups of coffee and a bigger fire getting me going each morning. So Me, myself, and I may be part of my problems. :rolleyes:

I am only replying to this because it appears that you are remarking on a message that was reply to me.

1. My message was not about seeds disappearing, it was about the sorting issue.
2. In the first part of my message I stated that I had read several other messages reporting similar issues just with selecting different sorting types. Although I had not seen a post from a mod stating it had been reported to the dev.
3. It's not nice to make fun of another's post.

No, my remark was NOT about you, it was a remark to Tiger that he is a very patient person. I just found it funny that he had to continually repeat what he was saying. So sorry if you took offense by it.

thank you for the lovely people and im sure i can fit them into my farms somehow .... but you missed the important one ..... need a person fishing to go with the waters we have :D

fishermen, surfers, people just in the water swimming, standing, floating, kids playing in the beach, with pails and buckets. AND INDIANS, I need some indians for my tepees, standing, sitting, just hanging around... lol

[Texas Star]

You only have 1 or 2 animal barns? I have 12 of wool sheds and its just barely enough to keep with demand. :)

No, I have 12 I think. I harvest 11 one day then the next day only have the one to harvest...that way I had at least one ready to harvest if I needed it for a quest. That worked fine until today.

Dispatching Trains with any Shape: You can now build trains in all shape and forms with different turns using all available freight cars. ALL the coupled cars will now be dispatched along with the locomotive. They don't need to be in a straight line anymore.

I enjoy the people the most, going back through all of my farms and see what people I can put on what farm, of course I can't get to all of the people cause I am not at the top level but oh well, I will just have to wait to get to them. I was thinking of going with the dogs to level up, it might take an hour or so but it could be done.

[storm36]

I really think the Dev team out did themselves with the freight train .. I don't know about any one else but since the Sept 1st update, I have noticed a lot more of my neighbors, the ones who stopped playing daily or even weekly, have started actively playing again. I now have more bonus and ingredient posts to sort through as well as twice as many neighbors facilities and services to work. what used to take me 3-5 hrs to do now only takes me 1-2 hours at the most.

Yes that green hand is the best thing since sliced bread - and the mayor and the train helping work others Facs. Really this was a great release - thank-you Devs

Love Love the green hand...Hope that someday there might be a purple hand that will allow plants to overlap.

You need to be sure that they are lined up with each other and go fairly close with them before they link. If you'd like to put up a link to your farm I'll come and have a look at them for you.

Really helpful - Thanks! Any chance in the future that we will be able to buy items on the Gift List if we reach a certain level?

yep... would like to buy more chicken and meat... already have 5 semi-trucks, so maybe I need to just buy more.... lol

although the devs indicated that if those meats became easily plentiful, it might then upset those who have bought many semi trucks.

My thoughts on purchasing the gifting items was to be able to get the animals and trees not offered elsewhere.

Me, too. Stoneface. I have 6 semitrailers, change the majority of my gifts (about 25 a day) to chicken (mostly) and meat and still run short. The rest of the meat etc delivered by the semitrailers I have in abundance but there is an imbalance in the supply of meat and chicken that hopefully will be looked at.

Yep a Koala would be good - basically some more "wild" animals other than smelly camels. A Doe for the poor lonely stag maybe?

[earlgray]

The people that you get as gifts are going into storage in the farm decor category, they should be in the people category.

[Docperk]

No, I have 12 I think. I harvest 11 one day then the next day only have the one to harvest...that way I had at least one ready to harvest if I needed it for a quest. That worked fine until today.

Ah ok, that makes more since, I usually leave one left undone in case I need it for the facilities too, I usually don't even do it unless it's needed.

[Docperk]

No, my remark was NOT about you, it was a remark to Tiger that he is a very patient person. I just found it funny that he had to continually repeat what he was saying. So sorry if you took offense by it.

NO worries, I must have been having a day.

[dottyF]

Is anyone else having trouble planting, harvesting etc?It takes forever for the seed to let you plant and then you have to click click click and nothing happens for the longest time.

Hi, It's like with the manure spreader and sprinklers... The green one does the work of both orange and green, so there is only need to display the green one, but you need both in order for the green to work.

I tried to use the green hand to overlay paving stones on big sand patches, but they sank underneath. I obviously haven't got the hang of it yet.

Please could someone who has used the hand to redesign their farm give me a link so I can get some tips and ideas?

I cant get the hand to work with paths either - also it doesnt work on fences/hedges. It works great with buildings - - Ive not done anything spectacular other than squash all the buildings up on my farm 6 and put duplicate facs on top of each other on 9 and 12. great space saver.

Since they made the changes to the paths, in particular the stone paths and dirt paths, I don't think you can get them on top of anything else.

It's the Farm Cash cars that can be dispatched. Do you own any of those? Here's the link to the section in the Game Guide which tells you all bout the freight trains......

To put in more digits they would have to make them smaller. Then those who are using a laptop or have eyesight difficulties would complain about it being too small.

Speaking of small numbers - how about numbering the farms in the diamond thingamabob at the top. I keep counting by threes and adding one or two, and still ending up on the wrong farm anyway. Y'all have to make it really simple for us simpletons, ya' know?

[maggiel29]

Oh I didnt explain it properly - I didnt mean duplicates on the same farm I meant the second/third etc ones on different farms where Im not worried about what they look like - also the ugly ones.

On my farm 13 i bought all the train carriages but there wasn't enough room 2 put them all on the track so i made farm 30x30 and moved trains along the bottom BUT still on same farm.... now when i go 2 empty them it says ......THIS TRAIN CAN NOT BE DISPATCHED BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAVE 1DISPATCHED ON YOUR FARM 13..(IF YOU MOVED YR LOCOMOTIVE FROM THESE FARMS,PUT IT BACK 2 UNLOAD THE TRAIN ... i haven't moved trains from farm 13..

Hi - I was concerned because I had a funny error message saying I could not dispatch my train when it was already dispatched! Just to report I have just unloaded it with no problems and dispatched it again with no problems. Strangely it still shows that error message but it doesnt prevent me from doing anything so I shall ignore it. Thank-you for helping.

I think the problem may be that you moved it while it was still dispatched -= I was told not to do this with mine - I had the same message. Have you tried actually unloading your train - I was able to unload mine with no problems.

[Tuckertbnc]

My only 'issue' with this last release .. is when the train comes back and I unload it ,, the animals go straight into storage ...
But we have to put them out on the farm to 'add' them to the building ... :confused:
Couldn't it be fixed to be like the gift box you can just add them to their building instead of having to set them out and then add .. :D

I think that might cause a problem if you tried to unload more animals than the spare capacity in your animal sheds.

Maggie, I just read your post and remembered I had the same problem as you. I thought I might try something to see if it would help with that funny error message. I unloaded my train then put my engine in storage. Then I put it on my farm 15, put it back in storage and went back to my original train farm to put it back there. I dispatched it, and now when I go to check my train status, there's no error message. When the train first came out, I recalled having it on my farm 15. That must be why it kept that error message. I hope this all makes sense to someone. LOL:)

[KnightRider]

I think that might cause a problem if you tried to unload more animals than the spare capacity in your animal sheds.

It would be like the gift box, it will only take out of storage the amount needed to fill the shed (if it was near capacity), otherwise then it would add them all. I was thinking the same thing when I was putting some of the animals on to my farm which doesn't have much room to add animals to put in the sheds.

The game would have to recognise when the shed was full and then put the rest into store. It would only work if the animal shed was on the same farm as the train surely. Dont get me wrong - its a great idea.

Thanks Dutch - I see what you mean. My train has always been on farm 6 - the only thing is I do have another loco on Farm 7 as decoration. I will try to fiddle when the train comes back again in a week! The error message has only been there since I attached the last two cars I bought.

The gift box can do it, I have had animals in my gift box that wasn't added to a shed cause it was full and had to go to another farm to finish using those animals, once the animals go into your storage then the train has nothing else to do with it, the program would look at you shed on that farm and add animals till it gets to the max.

They would have to make the gift box bigger - there are 250 animals on a train.
Then the spare ones would have to either be put out on a farm and then into storage or we would need a second button on the gift box to select animal shed or farm storage.

Still getting the pop-up error message saying I cant dispatch my train - even thought it is dispatched - I did unload it yesterday and send it off again. But I have just noticed that it wont go transparent anymore. The only thing I have ever done is move it slightly within the same farm - before the error message.
I have another loco on Farm 7 but it does not have any freight cars attached to it. It hasnt been a problem so far.
The error message appeared after I moved the undispatched train along to make room and attached the two new cars.
Can anyone suggest what to do when it returns or maybe clean up my train data?
I cant move it back to its original position - for the life of me I cant remember where it was to start with! Ive changed it all round.

That's exactly when I started to get that error message...after I moved the engine to make room for the new cars. Mine is going trans parent for me now. I wonder if that other loco on your farm 7 is causing this. Maybe when your train returns, you can put the other in storage to see what happens. You can always take it back out.

If you just be patient and don't move anything then after you unload and send it out again that message will not show again.

I think you are getting confused on what I am saying, what I am saying is that the gift box already knows how many animals you have in your sheds, like right now if you have dairy sheds on farms 2 and 3 with 100 cows each, then you get 50 cows in your gift box, you go to farm 2 and click on store all gifts, it will only put in 25 of those 50 cows in your farm 2 shed cause it knows how many cows is in that shed, then you could go to farm 3 and use the rest of the cows. They could do the same thing with the storage when you go to farm 2 it can read how many animals is in the shed just like the gift box does and take the animals from storage and put in the animals to the max or all of the animals which ever is more and just leave the remainder of the animals in storage just like the gift box does. They already have the coding done for the gift box, now all they have to do is duplicate it for the storage.

[Tuckertbnc]

I think that might cause a problem if you tried to unload more animals than the spare capacity in your animal sheds.

The game will only allow you to put the limit in each building .. it won't overfill :confused:.. I have had say 10 goats in my gift box and only 5 empty spaces and when you click add it will add the 5 and leave the rest in the gift box ... I just thought it might be easy to set the program up the same way for the animals from storage :o

[adinar]

You can still work someone's facilities as before. Except instead of staying first if you have a decently fast computer, you quickly fall to last. And if 5 people come through after you, it means you're 6th, where you get almost nothing. How do you not see the effect this has on the people who cannot pay for the trains that were virtually useless before, and now have a great effect on hurting the poor who play the game? WOW.

I'm confused on how you get that calculation about placing.It's never happened to me and how do you know how much the farmer loaded her/his facilities in the first place that determines how much ppl get ? The mayor still works half of the facilities whether you have trains or not.You keep talking about 1st and last place please let us know how you calculate this so we all can learn how it works

There are a few of the cars that don't say how many days because the amounts are to great and there isn't room for it to show. Maybe they need to look at putting that information down on a new line.

The only ways of getting Farm Cash is to level up, have a neighbor use the earn cash tab (if you can appear on their list), or to do the surveys and such items in the earn cash tab at the tops of the screen, but the earn cash tab (which should be titled earn facebook credits) you will receive Facebook Credits that would have to be turned into Farm Cash. Those are the only ways to get Farm Cash, unless you have a neighbor that would purchase some Farm Cash and Send it to you through the store.

You could try to move the last car that is connected and see if you can connect the two cars, if so then you could just try to reconnect the one you moved. If you still can't get them to connect then you can report back that it didn't work and you can also try to clear your cache, cookies, and history.

They are for decorating, it is for layering like ponds, buildings and other decorations. They can't be used for crops, trees, or flowers. Which it states that in the release notes. Others have said it has been a lot of help. It replaces the need to use paths to overlap decorations.

I broke down and bought them.... although the FC takes a hit, I have used the green a few times and love it. In fact, on some farms I went so far as to move stuff around and delete all the dirt paths that I originally needed.

When I place an item, I can look at it and if I want to change it, it is a simple thing to do.

My guess is that if they were really cheap, everyone would buy and enjoy them. The next thing I will try is bridge building which I anticipate will be MUCH easier.

I broke down and bought them.... although the FC takes a hit, I have used the green a few times and love it. In fact, on some farms I went so far as to move stuff around and delete all the dirt paths that I originally needed.

I brought them too, and I love them..I've been having great fun with them...I would love to be able to make bridges Stoneface...is there a tutorial on how to do them?
Not sure if this is off topic or not...but we are discussing the release tools :)

[1fritz]

I love my green glove. I think it well worth the FC I spent. Enjoy the ease of decorating, overlapping with out paths. I do hope in a future release that a purple one will be released that will allow overlapping of plants and fences.

Yes I love them too Mags - I ummed and ahhed but gave in - and Im glad I did - not done too much yet but waiting for some new Xmas goodies.

Yes Stoneface - would love a tutorial on bridge buiilding :D Perhaps you could put it in the social thread and leave poor Robin running round the woods for a while! Pics will do - dont need words.

I am not aware of any...

It would also be useful to have an idea of what items work better as bridge supports, and what items do not. I play around with lots of things as I experiment with everything from milk containers to brown gates to dog steps.

Take just the engine to farm 14 and unload. Then put it back on your train on farm 13 and it should dispatch.

You said you tried to dispatch a train on farm 13 and I just looked and there is not train on farm 13, but you do have one on farm 14 that has been dispatched for 4 days, so you dispatched sometime last week. That train will return in 3 days. Unless the link to your farm is a different account than the one you are talking about in the above post.

Have at least another week, it hasn't even been 3 weeks since this last release, I figure around the 27th of this month. I am going to use farm 16 as my storage farm.

[SunnyD]

[AuntLainey]

My restaurants are no longer in my facility chain. They are still on my farms. I need to go to the individual farms to work on them. I hope this can be fixed. Also may of my neighbors lights no longer lite up even though they are on. Frustrating. I am certain that you are doing your best to correct these glitches.

For your Facility Manager click on the filter in the upper right that looks like a funnel. Change your setting there to Facilities on All Farms from Active Facilities on All Farms.
The neighbor lights depend on the neighbor being actively working on their farm. Also those lights do not update immediately when a neighbor goes to their farm.

Hi. Love the last update, especially our new helpful mayor, and am eagerly looking forward to the next one. Just a heads up that the 'search' feature in crops still has some bugs in it. I did a search for a crop and it will not return to the regular sort feature, even though I closed it many times. I had to go out of the game and re-enter it to get it back to normal and search by stored amount.

Please don't let this interfere with the next release. Love you guys.

After you get that message and then click on the checkmark, does the train details stay open or does it close. If it stays open then click on train status and see what it shows, if it shows the info, then you will just have to keep clicking on the checkmark and after your train returns see if you can unload it and see if the message goes away.

I am still losing gifts from my giftbox!
I have just accepter one hundred gifts and when I got to the farm, there was only 36 in my giftbox.
Next timer after I had accepted one hundred, there was only 2 gifts in my box.
What is going on here?

I have been away from the farm for a few days, so my gifts had backed up, so I did have quite a few pages of gifts to accept.
I don't think I will accept any more until we can get this fixed!
Tired of sending gifts back, only to find I had nothing for me!

Are you using the App Center through Facebook or the My Requests from your farm.?

[servocrow]

I had a little weird thing happen with my train. I DID dispatch it but it didn't go transparent (and yes, I have that checked). When I check my train's status, it does tell me it has "already dispatched" (though I am not trying to dispatch, I'm just checking the status). The "status" time is where it should be, but it isn't going "transparent". I unchecked/checked the option again and reloaded--still not transparent.

It's still functioning, but I thought I would come in and mention it.

The 'My Requests' from my farm

Which should I be using?

[Tiger]

The 'My Requests' from my farm

Which should I be using?

The My Requests is better as it updates quicker where as the App centre sometimes doesn't and will show you a gift that's already been accepted.

See if you can spot if any of your friends are trying to send you more than one gift per day, if they are, they are attempting to take advantage of a glitch. What tends to happen is the first gift will work and the others wont. If they are doing this ask them to stop.

[Taz D]

The 'My Requests' from my farm

That is what you should be using. It sounds like your gifts that you have already accepted are not clearing so you are trying to accept the same gift again. Try clearing your cache and restarting your farm in between going to the my requests.

i am getting a freaky amount of "Error X025" like maybe 8 times just today... it is increasing I have been logged in but not on FT for a lot of the day.. haven't done much on my farms at all today .. have been getting that at least once a day for the last few days but today is really bad...

Yes, some of them do send more than one, but then there is always the 'ignore' box. But there is only one or two who do that.
but the time that I accepted 100, and then got to my farm, I had only 6 gifts, there was only 1 person that had sent me more than one gift.

Would this be one of those things that happen when you have 'larger farms'? I have just remembered that this seemed to start along the time that I enlarged my farms to 30 x 30.
Do you Think?
Thanks for everyone's suggestions for helping.

With the green glove you can hide one or more smaller buildings underneath larger ones. That lets you hide some of your facilities (if you want to) thereby freeing up space. You can still access them through the facility manager.

[maggiel29]

Just to report I am not getting that annoying false error message with my train now. I just unloaded it. Then cleared my cache and macromedia files and rebooted. Then came back and dispatched it again. It is now transparent and doesnt give me the message saying I cant dispatch it when I have!

[jkmyer]

Not sure if this is a problem that I should ask here, but I am going to. For the last couple of weeks both my husband and I have a hard time working anyones factories about one out of 5 or 6 tries get us to the factories he is on 2 and I am on 7 mine seems a little worse than his. Not sure if this started with the new upgrade as we were on vacation the first week it was out. Thanks for all of the hard work FT is still the only game we play.

You need the new gloves to be able to do this.

[AnnGO]

I was getting the message that I had to move my train back to farm 14, bit silly really as thats where they were so where do I move back to!

Anyway I decided to wait it out. Once I knew the train was ready for unload I did and the message has gone. I unloaded and dispatched no problem.

I was getting the message you all have, but once I decided to ignore it as I was already on Farm 14 and hadnt moved it.

I waited to see what would happen when I had reached the day of unload, it worked perfectly.

Just a little cliche well done devs love all the new stuff

I did it on my facilities farm. I put most of them in the Cancer Research Center, some others in the large apartment building, and some in the large cathedral. I have around 30 facilities but only ten went with the way I decorated that farm. I used the green glove. It was easy peasy!! Just plop them in. Every once in awhile a building will not hide but mostly they do. I also have hidden my chicken coops and dairy sheds on some other farms by putting them in a large house.

No one has said it loads a tad slow, that was my observation. It may be in my head since I know it is stacked!!
I love that green glove!!

[jedrapeau]

You don't use dirt paths, just do it with the green glove. Place a large building, then use the green glove to put a facility down on top of it and it will disappear behind the first one. Any of the buildings work, although once in awhile I have a little trouble getting the whole bldg in, but mostly it works very well. I used it to hide only a few, but someone I know has hidden lots of them on one farm. Visitors see the large buildings, but not the facilities you put behind them. You can hide small facilities behind large facilities too.

For some reason the glove doesn't work with paths and fences - you can get paths under two sometimes three sides of water but not all of them. The only ones that work reasonably well if you fiddle seem to be the roads as they are bigger - lay them down first and put the pond on top.
I wish they would make it work with the ornamental non harvestable trees too like the small pine - I would love to get them on top of the grass hills!

What I don't understand is that Slashkey said they don't like layering and couldn't talk about like making waterfalls, yet they come out with a tool to layer everything but plant items. Now some one with hundreds of factories can make it so only a few will show, they will layer hundreds of factories in a little space.

Now that the Developers have released tools to layer these items , they will be supported within the game and allowed to be discussed on the forum. At this time we will still not be allowing discussion on layering/staggering of crops or plants.

If you can do that now with the green glove (and I have done it with mine, and have done many other decorating jobs made 1000 times easier because of the new tool, what else is there left to stack?? Maybe trees on those hills would look great, but I personally will not justify more than 50FC for any tool, nor do I foresee the devs charging more than that for any, as none so far cost more.

I guess some farmers will not be satisfied until devs release a robot tool that does the whole 9 yards for them.

If you can do that now with the green glove (and I have done it with mine, and have done many other decorating jobs made 1000 times easier because of the new tool, what else is there left to stack?? Maybe trees on those hills would look great, but I personally will not justify more than 50FC for any tool, nor do I foresee the devs charging more than that for any, as none so far cost more.

I guess some farmers will not be satisfied until devs release a robot tool that does the whole 9 yards for them.

I would be happy to pay $50 Farmcash for a purple glove that would allow overlapping of plants and fences.

I was sure hoping the new release would have been this weekend. But oh well I guess it will be next weekend. Or maybe we'll get lucky and it come during the this next week.

Hypothetical situation, but needs addressing, please!
When I am working in neighbors facilities, I quite often get the "Such & Such Facility could not be loaded. Click the green arrow... red X etc". I have never been able to get the facility to reload using the green arrow, but rather have to find the building on the farm and load it by clicking directly on it.
NOW, if a neighbor has several facilities "hidden" in a larger building, there really won't be any way to find it, will there? And, if I can't find it, then I will miss all of the work in that one and any others that can't be found.
I would guess that I am in the minority of those playing FarmTown that have loading issues on a regular basis. Maybe a lot of my neighbors won't hide a lot of their facilities.
Any suggestions or ideas to help me when this occurs?
Thanks,
Deborah

For some reason the glove doesn't work with paths and fences - you can get paths under two sometimes three sides of water but not all of them. The only ones that work reasonably well if you fiddle seem to be the roads as they are bigger - lay them down first and put the pond on top.
I wish they would make it work with the ornamental non harvestable trees too like the small pine - I would love to get them on top of the grass hills!

>> The description of the Gloves states to allow layering of "Paths & Ponds", & "allow everything except plants"... The reason I purchased them does not work as described, I have requested a refund several times & haven't recvd a response. I don't decorate for competition & don't like to hide my bldgs. I would like to see the descriptions changed to reflect what they actually do. I'm still very disappointed, I want my 90 FC so I can purchase something I can use. Thank U for your input maggie, much appreciated. Have a Great Day... (")(^o^)(")

What do they mean by this and does SLASHKEY approve?

Yes I was disappointed the glove doesnt work with paths or the fences - I am sure it is meant to as you say. I still like it but it would be nice if this glitch??? was fixed.

I had requested a refund once set around wondering why I had not received it yet and then found I had an email from them asking me a question before they could complete the request. The email was in my Junk mail, if you have not already, you might check that.

As far as the glove conversation, I am still on the fence about it. Seams to me from reading in here the main reason people are getting them is to be able to hide some of the facilities, I can see this as space serving method, but what happened to the idea of using them for decorating the farm? Then they say well if we hide them, then we can decorate the farm with all the other things. I guess I will just stay on the fence and eventually fall one way or the other. :)

I have been able to overlap fences, as in the gap is not big enough to put a whole fence, but using the green hand it will go in. However, you do have to place the fence on the farm first and then move it into position using the green hand, have not tried with paths, but will have a go now! I LOVE the green hand :D

[anglnwhite]

I'm a farm decorating freak and I LOVE the design tools. I can overlap buildings and all decorations. I can place the items I just mentioned on top of crops if I so choose. I can overlap ponds and water ways. I've only "hidden" one animal facility and it worked like a charm. I'm thrilled about the prospect of being able to stack my overcrowded facilities to free up more real estate. It now takes days to accomplish what used to take weeks.

The only items i still need to use the paths with are flowers and trees, but I'm sure the purple or orange glove will take care of that in the future.

BRAVO DEVS!

I totally agree with you. I'm still tweaking farms to make room. I love that you can put buildings inside buildings, place decorations closer (hills especially), and stretch the farms out further. LOVE THE GLOVE!!

I have used it for overlapping mountains to move them closer together with less space between the peaks without having to use paths to do so. I love it. I used it to set my facilities closer together to make them look like one building as some do have a similar construction. I have also set a few animal buildings out on the edge of the farm to make more room for crops. And of course settin water items over paths as well as overlapping them to make them look like continuos warterways.
Personally I love the gloves.

One request for the devs ... PLEASE release the Halloween decorations earlier than usual. I need to stock up on scary caves. :D

Thanks!

Can someone tell me if the orange hand lets you overlap river pieces with mountains and waterfalls, or do you need the green hand to do that?

[KnightRider]

According to the Game Guide you can overlap paths and ponds with the Orange hand. Then the Green hand does everything else except for plant items.

[earlgray]

I know the game guide says that, but I was wondering if it really worked that way - looking for the voice of experience. Because I've read that there are some other things that don't work as stated, like the green hand apparently does not work for overlapping fence pieces.

And specifically, I'm trying to find out if the orange hand lets you overlap water pieces with mountains and waterfalls, or just with other water pieces.

I don't really understand the thing about overlapping paths anyway, because you can do that without the orange or green hand.

Can you please be specific about how they do not work as described? I'm considering buying them, and if there's a problem with them, I'd like to know before I spend my FC. Thanks.

I dont know about the orange hand because I got the green one and the orange hand has gone. But Ive just been fiddling - I can get the fences to overlap each other now so maybe the Devs fixed it - thank-you Devs. Some things wont go on top of others or only partially - eg: trees, paths and fences wont go on top of the grass hills. Or items only over lap from one direction - I suppose it depends where the image place holder is! It is just a question of fiddling a little - but it is in no way at all as arduous as using paths to achieve the same thing. I would really love to be able to put "vegetation" on the hills and mountains in the form of little pine trees or the bushes maybe. The paths all still sink to the bottom which is good really as I hated it before when they didnt. Overall I agree with Taz and others who like the hand tools - I am glad I bought them.

[1fritz]

Thank you, just noticed a post that said fences will now over lap, using the green hand. Tried it works. Thanks Devs.

[ImajeanB]

you stack buildings on top of each other?? are you for real?? do you have to use like dirt paths or anything?? what dobit slow?
sorry to ask so much .. but also is there a particular buildin visitors to your farm view?? has anyone said anything besides it loading a g your able to do this with or just any of them?

You do not have to use dirt paths. I have 30 facs stacked under one and still can work them from the Device Manager. I love the green hand. Thank you Devs for all the great things you do for us to enjoy!

Hi, this is a third party program , and therefore not approved by Slashkey.

Will someone tell me what we can do with the yellow glove. I know the green one hides facs and other buildings under a building so why the yellow one? Thank you for any info on this.

[HelenJS22]

Below is the section about the gloves as posted in the new release announcement Imajean. This should help you. You need to buy the orange one before you can buy the green one, which I believe then negates the orange one ... much as the tools are used.

7. Freestyle Farm Designer (FC): There are now 2 tools for the hard core designers which will allow you to get very creative in your farms easily.

Orange Freestyle Farm Designer: Allow Layering of Paths and Ponds. This tool upgrades your yellow hand Edit Tool and enables paths and water items to almost fully overlap other items.

Green Freestyle Farm Designer: Allow Layering of All but Plants. If you already own the Orange Freestyle Farm Designer you can buy this Green Freestyle Farm Designer to allow any item except plants (fields/crops/tress/flowers) to almost fully overlap other items.

You can use these tools while designing on others farms as well.

Thank you for any info on this.Hi, Just adding to what Helen said , The yellow glove allows you to move things around your farm , but not to 'layer' them

[beverduster]

i like the green glove have done a lot of stuff with it, dnt want to hide nothing in particliar but you sure can add a lot to the diminsion og the lay out

Ok thanks for your input, I think I am going to see what comes out in the our next release, only have limited amount of FC I can spend and want to make sure I spend it on what I need the most. If the prices of the new farms are the same as they have been I think I got enough coin to expand it all the way so I wan't have to spend my FC on that for the first time. :)

[KnightRider]

I use part of one farm for a storage farm, what doesn't the green glove layer except for plots, trees, and flowers; I know it doesn't layer those, but is there anything else it won't layer? I was thinking maybe if I got it I could use it to save space on my storage farm by putting my decorations that I am not using at the moment closer, the paths I use I don't have a problem with they will overlap anyway, but there is other items on my storage farm that takes up space. Before any one puts up what the Game Guide says, I have read of some having problems with some items and I know what the Guide says.

I had a good fiddle yesterday and it will overlap everything I could find - sometimes you have to fiddle a little bit - you might have to bring the thing you want to hide in from another direction. I havent had time to do anything wonderful other than get my factories closer together and overlap those on another farm. Ive also got my rivers and seas etc how I wanted them. The only things I found it will not overlap is paths etc on top of things they still sink to the bottom - which is totally fine and the decorative trees. All in all I am glad I got it - Ive got some spare time coming up and I plan to have a good decorating session.
